Chapter 288: Kang Chul-In vs Brynhildr Part 2 (2)


Where was the Sonic Ring!? This tenacious bastard . . .


Kang Chul-In had a perplexed expression on his face . When was Brynhildr going to deliver the Sonic Ring like a true cormorant?


No matter how hard he looked, Kang Chul-In couldn’t detect anything on Brynhildr’s finger .


“Oi, cormorant . ”


Kang Chul-In spoke in a displeased tone .


“When are you going to fetch me the fish?”


The fish here referred to the Sonic Ring .


“ . . . ”


“Work cormorant, work . ”


He coerced Brynhildr .


Kang Chul-In had to obtain the Sonic Ring before he could kill Brynhildr without hesitation .


“Stop spouting nonsense, Kang Chul-In . ”


Brynhildr replied coldly .


“Enough with your lame cormorant and fish story . ”


“Lame? You are only alive because of that fish . . . ”


Kang Chul-In was about to continue his speech when . . .


Swishhhh!


Arondight – the trusty sword of Brynhildr – was swung at Kang Chul-In at a terrifying speed, with a piercing screech .


It’s fast!


Kang Chul-In, startled at its incredible speed, instantly bent his body backwards .


Flick!


Two strands of his hair drifted on the air .


“ . . . !”


Brynhildr was fast . That was a fair statement, as he had managed to slice even Kang Chul-In’s hair .


“Let’s see how long you can ramble on about the cormorant nonsense . ”


Brynhildr snarled in a low and deep voice beneath his helmet . He had clearly indicated his wish for revenge for the previous defeat!


“Seems like you’ve powered up since the last encounter?”


Kang Chul-In smirked . He only had two strands of hair sliced, but that proved that Brynhildr’s speed was sufficient to pose danger to his life .


“How about you?”


Brynhildr replied .


“You don’t seem as strong as before, am I right?”


Spot-on . During their previous encounter, Kang Chul-In was fully powered-up with the [Full Moon] ability which made him much stronger .


“A real man becomes stronger at night . ”


Kang Chul-In snickered and replied . He was trying to crack a sexual joke .


“Trash . ”


With that,


Pang!


He dashed at Kang Chul-In with a sonic boom trailing behind him .


Hah!


Kang Chul-In could see it this time .


Oraclomind and Overdrive had activated instinctively, granting Kang Chul-In a reaction speed beyond human limits!


Clang!


Demon sword Kaiforce and light sword Arondight clashed .


He certainly did get stronger . . .


Kang Chul-In could feel the heavy impact from the blow . He had to acknowledge Brynhildr’s growth . An almost terrifying growth rate, as expected from his nemesis in the previous life .


However,


Getting cocky, are we?


Kang Chul-In’s eyes gleamed .


Ooooong!


Kaiforce began to vibrate .


Bang!


It then flung Arondight off .


“Cough!”


Fresh blood began to ooze out from beneath Brynhildr’s armor, who was reeling under the heavy blow . An overwhelming display of power! Brynhildr might be fast, but he was no match for Kang Chul-In’s monstrous strength . The latter was proving once again that he was the real deal .


I will beat you up just enough to not kill you .


Kang Chul-In charged at Brynhildr with that thought .


***


Meanwhile . . .


“Troops heading to Iota and Shen, change your trajectory to Zolushka . ”


15,000 men each . Lee Ji-Tae directed a total of 30,000 soldiers to Zolushka .


“Send in all of our most elite troops to Zolushka . In addition, send half of the 20,000 soldiers stationed in this castle to Zolushka . ”


He had also decided to send in legitimate soldiers, not just the small fries .


Kang Chul-In… I promise to make Zolushka your grave .


Lee Ji-Tae studied the map eagerly . It was almost an all-out attack .


Except for the 10,000 soldiers stationed in Itaracia’s castle, Lee Ji-Tae was sending all of his men to Zolushka .


***


The battle between Kang Chul-In and Brynhildr was indeed remarkable .


“Ohhhh!”


“So that’s the Supreme King of the West . ”


“The white knight was that strong? To even challenge Kang Chul-In?”


“M-Monsters . . . ”


The Lords of the Gullveig Alliance and their elite troops didn’t dare to interfere with this intense battle . All they could do was marvel at the two fighters .


Well, who could stop them? Only death awaited whoever stepped in . Observing from a safe distance was the wisest move .


“Urgh!”


However, the battle was more lopsided than it appeared to be .


“What, getting tired?”


Kang Chul-In pressured Brynhildr with a wicked smile on his face .


Clang, clang, clang!


Kaiforce and Arondight clashed relentlessly, creating tremendous shock waves each time .


“How dare you, a mere cormorant, challenge me?”


Kang Chul-In caught Brynhildr off guard for a split second and flung his knee upwards with great strength .


Bam!


Kang Chul-In’s knee landed straight into Brynhildr’s abdomen .


“Cough!”


Brynhildr’s body folded from the impact .


“I told you . . . ”


Bang!


Kang Chul-In’s fist struck Brynhildr’s jaw .


“You should’ve . . . ”


Crack!


An elbow attack this time!


“Just fetched your fish . ”


Bam!


A kick followed .


Thump!


Brynhildr rolled a good 10 meters on the floor before coming to a halt .


“Keuk!”


“Do you get it now?”


Kang Chul-In grinned .


“This is the difference between us . ”


A clear arrogance . He proved that he could kill Brynhildr anytime . The only thing that was stopping him from doing so was the Sonic Ring, which was also referred to as the ‘fish’ .


It was the hard truth . Kang Chul-In could have murdered Brynhildr the moment he caught him off-guard . All he had to do was swing Kaiforce instead of the tedious kicking, punching and elbowing . Brynhildr would’ve become a corpse by now .


“Kang… Chul-In . . . ”


Brynhildr struggled to get himself up .


“It’s not over yet . . . ”


“Really?”


“Don’t be arrogant… I can still fight . ”


A remarkable fighting spirit indeed . Brynhildr’s brilliant white armor was dented and torn everywhere, but he refused to give up . This greatly moved Kang Chul-In . . .


“You fucker . ”


… Or not . Kang Chul-In was not a cliché main character of a shonen manga, who typically made up with his opponent after a fight .


“Let me crush all your bones into pieces . . . ”


Kang Chul-In approached Brynhildr while mumbling those harsh words .


Suddenly,


Toommmm!


The ground began to tremble .


“Wahhhhh!”


“Capture him!”


“Kill Kang Chul-In!”


From afar, tens of thousands of Shatyameba soldiers were marching at an incredible speed .


“Trying to win by numbers, huh…?”


Kang Chul-In smirked . He wasn’t afraid . As long as the arch-shaped passage was unscathed, it was impossible for him to lose .


It was certainly true that he might collapse from fatigue on day 3, but he could just escape before that happened .


“Don’t mind them . ”


Brynhildr walked towards Kang Chul-In .


“You fight with me . ”


“You still don’t get it, do you?”


Kang Chul-In jeered .


***


“Kang Chul-In . . . ”


Having launched an all-out attack, Lee Ji-Tae stood on the watchtower .


“Your corpse . . . ”


He could see Zolushka in the distance . A large troop was approaching it . A battle was about to unfold, and Kang Chul-In was certainly going to die while fending off the relentless wave of attacks .


“You will never escape . . . ”


Lee Ji-Tae was about to complete his sentence, when . . .


Vroooomm!


A screeching engine sound could be heard .


“ . . . !”


Lee Ji-Tae could sense that something was off . A bit later, three enormous air crafts emerged from the curtain of clouds to reveal themselves in the sky above Itaracia . One of them was familiar to Lee Ji-Tae .


“Z-Zeppelin!”


Wasn’t that Rothschild’s former aircraft which was used to attack Laputa?


Not only did Zeppelin appear, but also . . .


Roarrrr…!


A gigantic beast gleamed with brilliant silver shine appeared . It was none other than the famous Full Metal Dragon .


Last but not least, there was the largest aircraft of the three . It was at least five times bigger than Zeppelin .


“T-Temeraire!”


Overlord Hecate’s legendary battleship sailed through the sky .


Ah, ah, mike test . Mike test .


Suddenly, Kwak Jung’s voice could be heard through the magic-engineered loudspeaker, which echoed throughout the Chamonix mountains .


Fresh vegetables are here… no, that’s not it! Ok, I’m giving you guys 10 seconds .


It was a warning .


Choose . Surrender in 10 seconds or become roasted meat .


He was threatening to destroy Itaracia .


“What the fuck!?”


Lee Ji-Tae couldn’t believe this situation . Why would Valhalla’s main battle force appear in the northern region of Baldur? It already didn’t make sense that Kang Chul-In was protecting Zolushka .


Why? Was Kang Chul-In’s information network so incredible? No, that’s not it . Even that Kang Chul-In wouldn’t be able to read the situation in Pangaea so effectively!


No matter how he pondered, it didn’t make sense . Of course, Lee Ji-Tae was unaware of the deal between Kang Chul-In and Lily . It was natural for him to be caught off-guard .


10 . . .


Meanwhile, Kwak Jung had already initiated the countdown .


9, 8, 7 . . .


10 seconds . That was a very short time . Not to mention that it was impossible to decide a crucial matter like surrendering within such a short time frame!


6, 5… argh, fuck it!


Kwak Jung suddenly flared up .


Just shoot everything! Now!


As impatient as ever, he didn’t bother to keep to the 10 seconds at all!


God damn it!


Lee Ji-Tae’s face crumpled .


Pow!


And hence began the bombardment .


Farewell .


Overlord Hecate’s ultimate attack, ‘Fire,’ began to pour down on the opponents!


***


While Kwak Jung was unintentionally screwing Lee Ji-Tae up, Kang Chul-In was facing 300,000 Shatyameba and Gullveig Alliance soldiers, as well as Brynhildr, at the same time .


“Come at me . ”


Brynhildr stepped up .


“Oi, cormorant . ”


Kang Chul-In replied coldly .


“You sure you won’t regret this?”


“ . . . ”


“Should I really kill you here?”


It was his final warning . Kang Chul-In had been giving many chances so far, but any further and he would murder Brynhildr, regardless of whether he could obtain the Sonic Ring .


“Your threats are meaningless . ”


Brynhildr held tightly onto his light sword, Arondight .


“I - Brynhildr, the white knight - will never back off from a fight against Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West . ”


“ . . . ”


“No matter what happens . . . ”


Suddenly,


“Kang Chul-Innnnnnnnnn!”


An idiotic voice could be heard from somewhere .


Keeeeek!


The unique cry of a wyvern could also be heard .


“I’m hereeeeeeeeee!”


With that,


Thump!


Overlord Dorian Explorer alighted from a gigantic black Wyvern’s back .


“… What?”


Kang Chul-In asked Dorian with a puzzled expression .


“Why are you here, bastard?”


“To help!”


“Help who?”


Kang Chul-In asked .


“You!”


“Me?”


“Yep! You are all alone!”


“That’s true but… I don’t recall asking for help?”


“R-Really?”


Dorian started to sweat .


“Kwak Jung told me that you are in big trouble . . . ”


“Idiot . ”


“ . . . !”


“Tricked again . ”


“T-Tricked?”


“Tsk… you suffer more if you are stupid . ”


Kang Chul-In mocked Dorian .


Brrrr!


Dorian’s body trembled with rage .


“Urgh… tricked again… Damn it . Well… what can I do…? Anyways, take this, Kang Chul-In . ”


Dorian passed something to Kang Chul-In .


“What’s this?”


“A tonic!”


Dorian grinned .


“Tonic?”


“Dragon Heart . ”


“ . . . !”


“Take care of your body . You have three wives to deal with . You need something like this to sustain your virility . . . ”


Bam!


Kang Chul-In smashed his fist onto Dorian’s head .
